Spiderman and horses (Cute or Realistic style) - Maybe a border collie and some watermelon on the label?!

Biography

Donnie was born perfect, but when Donnie turned 1 year old he started to miss a lot of mile stones. He struggled to sit upright unaided and had poor motor skills. This prompted medical testing in the form of MRI and blood test. The MRI showed his brain was different and the blood test for genetics proved he had Angelman Syndrome.

Donnie has many hospital trips due to being unwell and seizures started. After a ECG it proved he had epilepsy, which is common in Angelman syndrome and probably the worst/ most scary part. He is now on anti seizure medication which seems to work unless he is unwell with a high temperature.

Donnie sees many therapists in the form of Physio, occupational therapy and speech and language. He has been attending hippotherapy for a year now and loves riding his pony Ozzy and the mechanical horse Murphy. He has a lot of equipment, a large buggy, standing frame and most recently splints and a Lycra suit. Donnie cannot walk yet but is doing great in progressing his standing at his own speed. We look forwards to trying a walking frame soon.

Donnie is the happiest little boy and always giggling. His energy and love fills the hearts of all his family and anyone who he meets.
